Actually it would appear that most of the re-anything of plastic shopping bags involves the re-use of them rather than actually recycling them, though the percentage of bags being recycled has grown significantly in the past decade.
A very large amount of the recycled plastic bags in this country and elewhere actually end up as a type of decking made of these bags that is resistant to weathering and rot and has become more and more popular over time.
The bags are run through a variety of processes that breaks down the films and leaves the processor with a pellet-like plastic that is then further processed into other materials.
well normally when you recycle plastic bags you just take it to the nearest Fred Meyer's and hand it to them and then they take care of it , or you take it to a recycling plant where they put it through a series of contamination process that melts it down and makes it into another bag.
